Emerging genius: Tengger Cavalry – Warhorse

Over the coming weeks I will share an eclectic lucky dip of music that I discovered and loved via subreddit /r/listentothis, Here is no.10 on the jukebox, a dark metal gem from Mongolian metal band Tengger Cavalry.

Warhorse by Tengger Cavalry is an exciting aural assault that embodies the nomadic warrior spirit of the Mongolian Steppe. Their sound rocks harder than a lot of other conventional metal bands and involves a heady mix of throat singing, Mongolian fiddle and Central Asian instruments. A few years ago the band sold out concert at Carnegie Hall and were featured in CNN, New York Times and The Wall Street Journal. Since then they are have attracted a legion of metal fans throughout the world.
